Honda’s Asimo robot has grown up – with its latest upgrade giving it enhanced intelligence, added dexterity and the ability to run 5.6mph (9km/h).
The first Asimo was created in 2000, and is seen as one of the leading attempts at creating a humanoid.
The latest version is able to change its actions depending on what happens around it – such as moving out of a person’s way.
The 4ft (130cm)-tall robot is also able to do complex sign language.
Asimo – which stands for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility – is eventually intended to help people in various situations of need, such as the elderly, or those in disaster zones. It can not yet be bought in shops.
Parts of the technology developed by Honda for the Asimo project have been used to help clean-up efforts at the stricken Japanese nuclear plant Fukushima.
But in the humanoid robot, upgrades have focused on making Asimo better understand the world around itself.•••
